Converting the hh24:mm format into seconds since midnight allows for greater simplification and modularisationg of the code.
use strict; use Data::Dumper; ################################################# #converts a string hh24:mm into seconds equivalent since midnight sub convert_to_seconds { my $time = shift; my ($hours, $minutes) = split ':', $time; return $hours * 3600 + $minutes * 60; } ################################################# #converts a seconds since midnight into hh24:mm format sub convert_to_hh24mm { my $time = shift; my $hours = int ($time / 3600); my $minutes = ($time % 3600) / 60; return sprintf("%02d:%02d", $hours, $minutes); } ################################################# #takes a begin and end time (in seconds since midnight) #and an interval (in seconds as well) as arguments sub generate_intervals { my ($begin, $end, $interval) = @_; my @intervals; while ($end > $begin) { push @intervals, $begin; $begin += $interval; } return @intervals; } ################################################# # M A I N # my $begintime = '18:20'; my $endtime = '22:30'; my $interval = 15; my @intervals = generate_intervals( convert_to_seconds($begintime), co +nvert_to_seconds($endtime), $interval * 60); foreach (@intervals){ print Dumper(convert_to_hh24mm($_) ); }
This outputs :

E:\>perl -w test.pl
$VAR1 = '18:20';
$VAR1 = '18:35';
$VAR1 = '18:50';
$VAR1 = '19:05';
$VAR1 = '19:20';
$VAR1 = '19:35';
$VAR1 = '19:50';
$VAR1 = '20:05';
$VAR1 = '20:20';
$VAR1 = '20:35';
$VAR1 = '20:50';
$VAR1 = '21:05';
$VAR1 = '21:20';
$VAR1 = '21:35';
$VAR1 = '21:50';
$VAR1 = '22:05';
$VAR1 = '22:20';

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
